Aircraft involved

Factual narrative

THE PILOT STATED THAT WHILE HE WAS ON FINAL APPROACH, HE WAS CARRYING A LITTLE POWER SINCE HE WAS A LITTLE LOW. HE STATED THAT AS THE AIRCRAFT CROSSED THE THRESHOLD, HE REDUCED POWER AND THE PLANE YAWED TO THE RIGHT. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE AIRCRAFT HEADED TOWARD A HANGAR AND THE PILOT INITIATED A GO-AROUND. DURING THE GO-AROUND, THE LANDING GEAR BOUNCED OFF THE TOP OF A HANGAR AND THEN THE AIRCRAFT COLLIDED WITH A POWER LINE AND CRASHED. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE LOST ELEVATOR AND RUDDER CONTROL. HOWEVER, AN INSPECTION REVEALED THAT ALL OF THE FLIGHT CONTROLS WERE HOOKED UP AND OPERABLE AFTER THE CRASH. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
